AZGFD Black-footed Ferret Fall Spotlighting (November)

AZGFD Black-footed Ferret Project

The Black-footed Ferret Project will be hosting two 5-night spotlighting events in Aubrey Valley and on the Double O Ranch September 7-11 and October 5-9, and a 3-night event November 9-11.  For each event, spotlighting will begin on Thursday night.  For the September and October events, spotlighting will conclude on Tuesday morning.  For the November event, spotlighting will conclude on Sunday morning. Because ferrets are being seen in areas where we normally do not spotlight, we will have some teams go out and spotlight these new areas to try and trap these ferrets.   Besides ferrets, other animals that could be observed during spotlighting include foxes, badgers, coyotes, owls, hawks, porcupines, skunks, and pronghorn. You must be able to stay awake from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am!

When signing up, please sign up your group, listing first & last names as well as if you are needing a vehicle to ride in or able to bring your own for the spotlighting. (No Rides provided to Seligman, AZ!). 4×4 vehicles are preferred. Mileage is tax deductible. Please RSVP by September 1st for the September event, September 30th for the October event and November 3rd for the November event. New Volunteers: Please arrive at the Field House at 8:00 p.m.  After signing up, directions will follow in a confirmation e-mail.
